Yesterday, I was able to successfully connect and see the status of a remote SQL instance, but I came into work today, and I am getting the white circle (meaning cant see server status). Below is the information:

1. Running XP sp3 with SSMS 2005 and MSSQL 2005.
2. The server I am trying to connect to is a virtual using VMWare.
3. Already checked WMI for permissions (though that shouldnt have changed since yesterday)
4. I am able to successfully run queries without a problem.
5. The server is registered in SSMS.
6. The SQL instance is on a Server 2k3 virtual.
7. Running SSMS on the local machine, I am able to see the status.

If you need any more information just ask. I am farily new to SSMS 2005, as Database was not my primary job (though now it is).
